The conference is an opportunity to collectively explore a Devon-wide vision for creating the system conditions for healthier lives and healthy bodies/weight across the population through systemic, collective, non-stigmatising actions.

There is wide recognition that the challenge of excess weight at population level cannot be solved via a single solution, and that it requires system-wide efforts and approaches taking into account the complexity and scale of the issue.

This conference is a space to bring together Devon residents and stakeholders actively working in this space to share, connect and exchange ideas, and to inspire people to work together, creating collaborative action towards a wider vision for healthy weight and lives in Devon.

Objectives for the day:

      ● To explore health and weight as a complex issue requiring whole system responses, feedback and adaptation

      ● To share learning from across Devon, Plymouth and Torbay and wider to provoke and inspire our imagination and ambition

      ● To build the conditions for a shared vision(s) and collaborative actions toward that vision(s), underpinned by local differences and diversities

      ● To mobilise collective action across emerging work streams
